Feeling triggered, *Todd* realized he needed to take action. He remembered seeing an ad for the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman & Hollis website. Without wasting any time, he started following the program materials and found himself first learning about goal setting and achieving small but significant milestones.

'The first step is always the hardest, but realizing you need help is even harder,' Todd often journaled. He also started attending virtual meetings, sharing his struggles and successes with others who were battling similar demons. He found a sense of community and understanding that had been missing from his life.

However, *Dr. Meredith Allen*, a psychologist, believes that online programs like Stepping Into Action can be highly effective, especially for those in remote areas. 'They offer accessibility and flexibility that traditional therapy can't always provide,' she stated.

Yet, there is debate. Another expert, *Dr. Richard Fenton*, argues that in-person therapy offers a level of personal connection and accountability that virtual programs can't match. 'Face-to-face interactions build a deeper bond and trust between patient and therapist,' he contended.

Despite the differing opinions, for Todd, the Stepping Into Action program was a lifeline. Living in a small town like Chesswood Acres made it difficult to find local resources. Online access proved invaluable. 'Seeking help online was the best decision I made; it was about leveraging available resources to change my life for the better.' Todd concluded.
